Summary:
The 48872 zip code area is home to three schools - Perry Elementary, Perry High School, and Perry Middle School - all part of the Perry Public Schools district. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high rates of chronic absenteeism and a significant proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, they also exhibit distinct strengths and areas for improvement.
Perry High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 209 out of 743 Michigan high schools and earning a 4-star rating. It boasts a strong 90.5% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate, along with solid academic performance on state assessments. In contrast, Perry Elementary demonstrates strong 4th-grade academic performance, outpacing the state average in both English Language Arts and Math on the M-Step assessments, but struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.7%.
The data also reveals significant variability in academic performance within the same schools, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and strategies to address these disparities. Additionally, the high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools indicate that the communities they serve face socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement. While the schools generally perform below state averages, the data highlights areas of strength that could be leveraged to drive improvement in other areas and support the overall academic success of students in the 48872 zip code.
